Terius Behind Me (2018)

Storia bella e a tratti intensa benché manchi lo smack

Una storia ben fatta, con attori che calzano a pennello nel ruolo, e a tratti è anche molto intensa. Il filone della trama che gira attorno a un caso di spionaggio, in cui non si capisce chi sia la talpa fino alla fine, risulta ben scritto e in effetti ti tiene col fiato sospeso. Questo si alterna, perché di fatto si fonde, a una storia romantica atipica che rimane aimé un po' troppo platonica. Sì arriva alla fine con grande attesa di un bacio insomma. Te lo aspetti, quasi te lo immagini e poi...niente. Questo però non inficia la serie che rimane bella, dinamica e non troppo scontata. Per lo smack ci rifaremo in una serie successiva. Il mio voto è 8.

With "My Secret, Terrius" the KDrama-World shows what it can do, too: simply entertain.

"Terius Behind Me" playfully and lightheartedly balances between RomCom and spy thriller. The series dates back to 2018, but in view of the global corona pandemic, it is probably more up-to-date than intended. That makes the spy story a bit very serious in retrospect. Otherwise, "My Secret, Terrius" is a bit funny - the investigations and relationship dynamics intertwine in capricious ways. It's a bit cute - with the two twins as well as a second "romance" in the subplot. A bit tart - the legendary star spy undercover as an inexperienced babysitter for two bright six-year-olds. Between the two main leads, it's actually a bit about romance, too. But there is also room for a bit of bromance - male friendships. And there is a little something in it for handbag freaks.

An exclusive highlight in "Terius Behind Me", however, is the Korean style neighborhood watch - the distinctive esprit of the mothers' association of the Kingsman neighborhood, that is characterized by notorious curiosity (by the way, a man is part of that, too). As the Kingsman Information System (KIS), they prove to be several times superior to the National Intelligence Service (NIS) - especially in terms of efficiency when it comes to their high-tech networking and highly motivated investigations.

In passing, you also gather some impressions of life in typical high-rise condominiums in Seoul´s new development areas, the over-committed mothers in such neighborhoods, and (in case I didn´t already mention it before)... handbags... :-)

Enjoy.
